Elisabeth Hasselbeck blames Sarah Palin for lack of Mitt Romney coverage

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who campaigned for Sarah Palin (oh, and John McCain) in 2008 is now complaining that the former governor is distracting media attention from Mitt Romney.

On a recent episode of "The View," Hasselbeck used an interesting analogy to argue that the hockey mom's "One Nation" tour was stealing the thunder from Romney's plan to improve the economy.

"If I had termites in my house I'd get someone in there who could deal with it," the former winner of "Survivor" explained. "Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there. Here's why we're not hearing it: because Sarah Palin's on a bus and right now she's manipulating, in terms of media attention."

Hasselback's angst against the Alaskan may seem odd considering that in 2008 Hasselbeck guaranteed that if Palin made it to the White House she would fight D.C. corruption.....

"Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there."

If Mr. Romney's business experience made him any kind of expert on the economy, "Romneycare" would have never been created and signed into law in Massachusetts by Mr. Romney.

Either his business experience taught him next to nothing about economics or whatever he did learn he was willing to discard so he could play Mr. Bipartisan, at the expense of the legal and economic liberties of his state's citizens.

There is no reason at all for any true Conservative to continue the pretense that Mr. Romney has anything over any of his opponents when it comes to the economy; unless that is they are counting how man crony-capitalists are looking to gain something riding on his coat tails.

In 2001, Hasselbeck was cast in Survivor: The Australian Outback, and was originally a member of the Kucha tribe. She was the last remaining member of that tribe in the game before being voted off on Day 39 and finishing fourth overall.

Do we have ANY Milt sycophants at FR?

Yes, but they remember the Rudy "Bug Zapper" thread (LOL) and they only come out when it is safe.

Kinda like cockroaches.

Elizabeth was hurt that Sarah never returned her calls (she claims) so she is lashing out or something like that.

I believe Elizabeth is for gay marriage as well...It`s to bad she turned on Sarah, I used to think she was quite adorable, but that`s all gone now

And really how could she be part of that show anyway?
